Golden Fall Friday

Happy Fall everyone. Fall is our favorite time of the year. Fall is apple picking time, pumpkin picking time, apple cider and apple donuts time, pumpkin pies/cakes/donuts, fall foliage time and best of all,

Fall is snuggle time!

Do you love Fall season? What is your favorite Fall activity?

I wanted to share with you this delicious pumpkin bars recipe. I made these yummyness 2 weeks ago, if you love pumpkin, you would LOVE these! I found the recipe here. It is so easy (now a days, I am all about easy recipes that I can whip up quickly or make it with my little boy).

Golden Samantha

Dear Samantha,
Happy Birthday my little Angel. Today would have been your 8th birthday. There is not a day I don't think of you. I remembered seeing the first picture of you from the breeder. I picked you out right away because you had on my favorite color.

From the moment you came into our home, you brought us lots of emotions. Your silliness and goofiness brought us laughter. Your rare and random mischieviousness brought us anger at the time but made us laugh afterwards. You brought us joy and happiness but most of all you brought us your love.

I wish that you are here to see how much your little brofur had grown. You would have loved to play with him. Seeing him playing with June sometimes bring me sadness knowing that he doesn't have a chance to get to play with you. I bet you two would be best tug-of-war buddies!

There is so much I want to say to you. I wish I had spent more time with you. I wish I hadn't told you to get out of my face when all you wanted to do was to play but I was tired. I wish I had taken you more often to your favorite camping spot. If only I could turn back time...

I know you are now safe and happy at The Rainbow Bridge and that you will always look out for your family. I love you very much and I missed you even more!

Love,

Mom
